The GOP likes to tar Democrats as radical extremists. But look at who incited an insurrection

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel was unanimously reelected on Friday for another term. Her message to the party: “I am mad and I’m not going to let socialism rule this country.”

In tweeting about his Fox News appearance after the domestic terrorist attack on the U.S. Capitol, Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) urged fellow Republicans to “focus on countering the Democrats’ radical agenda.”

-snip-

Newsflash: It wasn’t the radical left that stormed the doors of the Capitol on Wednesday. It wasn’t the radical left that told a group of known white nationalists to “stand by” during a nationally televised presidential debate. It wasn’t the radical left that addressed the soon-to-be rioters and declared to members of Congress that “we’re coming for you.” It wasn’t the radical left who on the eve of the Capitol siege announced their plans to walk the path to sedition.

The only “radical” elements America sees now are the words and actions of the Republican Party. Yet Republicans have forever gotten away with throwing around the label “radical” to characterize the Democratic Party.

1. What we claim they will do, they do, what they claim we would do, never happens n/t

2. Funny (but not "funny ha-ha") how "names" stick......

sort of like telling the same lie over and over again - pretty soon everybody (well, not everybody - but many) start to believe it and repeat it. It IS a major RepubliCon weapon.

5. Should rename them...

the Supremicist Party. Many of them would even like it, not realizing we mean it perjoratively.

3. Republicans are the party of Domestic terrorism

If after Wednesday they don't expel these people from their party, they deserve to be called the party of traitors aiding Domestic terrorism attacks on the UNITED STATES.

4. What they falsely claim we do. They have done or they are about to do. Projection

6. they also seem fixated on extermination

As if the Left will exterminate everyone on the Right if/when the Left takes control. Like we did (not) in 2008-2010 when the Dems controlled all 3 branches of government (for only 2 years, producing the ACA, at least). The horrors!! And saved the country from an economic crisis created under Republicans, I have to add.

Yeah, we know it is projection, but I get so tired of the constant hyperbole from the Right.

Sigh.

So deep into apocalyptic thinking.
